A Friend for Life!

There is this beautiful saying in Tamil, “உன் நண்பன் யார் என்று சொல். நீ யாரென்று சொல்கிறேன்.” Literal translation in English is, “Tell me who your friend is. I‘ll tell you who you are!” That I second. I was lucky enough to find a pearl in my life, while chatting anonymously on a chatting website.

[TheRock_ -> Queen of Hearts]: “Heya!”[Queen of Hearts -> TheRock_]: “Hello!”[TheRock_ -> Queen of Hearts]: How was your day?[Queen of Hearts -> TheRock_]: Good. Where are you from?[TheRock_ -> Queen of Hearts]: I am from India. Currently, I am living in London.What about you?[Queen of Hearts -> TheRock_]: Wow! London. I am from India.

Her chat tone changed. In less than ten minutes, she became comfortable in chatting with me. And she added me on gTalk.

Sahana: Hellowme: Thanks for the add.Sahana: I am glad to find a good person. What’s the time now?me: The time is quarter past one in the morning. I guess it is half past five in India.Sahana: Yesh!

The chat continued until mid-day. I was glad to find someone with whom I could chat for hours. She was happy, as she found a good friend. :P Life suddenly started to blossom like a sunflower. We chatted almost all day. Sooner, we became thick friends. We trusted each other blindly and shared all secrets between us.

We were everywhere – gTalk, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and Skype. We chatted on gTalk during the daytime, or at times on Facebook, posted (spammed) on each other wall, Retweeted or mentioned the other, and when the fingers needed a break, we talked on Skype, and played guessing game on Whatsapp before going to sleep; a game that could be played only by Sid and Sahana. She sent random words to me to guess what made her type that. Or a synonym to her word, not exactly though.

We eventually became close friends for life and, lived together in virtual world. On a Thursday afternoon, I was working from home, she came online on gTalk after a weeklong preparation for her exams.

Sahana: Hellow Yellow!me: Online? Have you done with your preparation for exams?Sahana: Nope. I was bored at home. I am alone.me: OkaySahana: Let’s do something weird :Dme: I am ready. Tell me.Sahana: You first or meme: Always youSahana: Make a random yahoo id

About Me

I’m Saravana Kumar Murugan (Sarav), a technical lead by profession, a writer by passion and a photographer by choice. I write under a pen name Someone is Special, as my pen name is a sweet dedication to a dream angel. I am born in this world to express my dreams, I do so as poems and prose. I do prefer poetry as it helps me to rhyme what I love to, and attain peace.

This blog is a reflection of my obsession with romance, writing, photography and sharing my life (sometimes) in a meaningful and beautiful way. Stay around.
